“Your social media has become the cover letter that you didn’t know you were sending and the online virtual interview that you didn’t know was taking place with college admissions officers, recruiters, and possible employers of the future.”

On Thursday, Sept 28th, NPSS students will get a chance to show their school spirit by wearing school colours (gold & burgundy) and/or NPSS spirit wear! Those who get involved will have a chance to win some cool NPSS ‘swag’!

The Senior and Junior Girls had a great time at the Big Red Tournament in Grande Prairie. The Seniors came 2nd in their first pool, but were beaten in day two. As this was primarily a Senior’s tournament, the Juniors did well to hold their own.

Sept 9/10: NPSS Students Derek Hadland, Tyrel Robert, and Wade Robert competed at the Hudson’s Hope High School Rodeo earlier this month. Derek Hadland won second place for Tie Down Roping with a time of 13.4 seconds. Tyrel Roberts won first place in Saddle Bronc, with 62 points. His brother Wade Roberts came in fourth place.

Congratulations to Tyrel Roberts for winning first place in Saddle Bronc!
